Cell viability indices of combined therapy and the effect of treatment on cancer cells assessed by LIVE/DEAD® assay with CT26 cancer cells.

Notes: (A) Histogram showing CCK-8 data (OD) of CT26 cancer cell viability for control and therapy groups with no irradiation on 1, 3, and 5 days. (B) The viability of CT26 colon cancer cell co-incubated with PDO, PDO+PD, and PDO+PD-BTZ. (C and D) LIVE/DEAD® cell microscopic images of PDO+PD nanofiber after 72 hours of treatment. (E and F) Combined photothermal and chemotherapy treatment using PDO+PD-BTZ nanofiber after 72 hours of treatment. One-way ANOVA post hoc Tukey test was used to indicate the significance (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, and ***P<0.001).

Abbreviations: BTZ, bortezomib; PDO, polydioxanone; PD, polydopamine; TCP, tissue culture plate; OD, optical density; CCK-8, cell counting kit-8.
